Ahead drumsticks combine a 70-75 Easton Alloy with a super hard urethane cover and feature a built in vibration reduction system that reduces hand fatigue and lets you play longer and faster. The precision alloy core guarantees weight and balance variations of less than 1%, compared to as much as 20% with wood. Super high impact tips come in different shapes to fit any style of play. Replacement covers and tips are available to keep your Ahead sticks going and going.
